Civil procedure

Franny Investments LTD v Femi Alaba Olajide & Ors

The applicant is entitled to an interim injunction against the Akpatas as there is a strong case they are trespassers with no legal right to remain, and damages are not an adequate remedy. There is insufficient evidence to grant an injunction against Mr Olajide, who is likely an assured shorthold tenant in occupation, or against Mr Edeki, Ms Harris, or persons unknown. The balance of convenience favours the Akpatas' removal but not Mr Olajide's.

  • Possession proceedings
  • Trespass
  • Tenancy
